Seascape Wave Study

"Afternoon Light-Mission Capistrano", 16x12, oil on board by Maryanne Jacobsen


"Afternoon Light-Mission Capistrano", 16x12, oil on board by Maryanne Jacobsen

This is the newest of my Mission San Juan Capistrano paintings. I just love that old mission! You can click on the image to see the painting better. I painted it with both brush and palette knife. It was a complex scene for a couple reasons. The old adobe part of the mission where the bells are located is definitely unusual in terms of architecture. So I always feel challenged when I try to capture the colors and the shape of the structure. The wall of the courtyard was more straightforward, but the combination of contrasting colors and perspective of the three adjoining buildings challenged me a bit. I had fun with the bougainvillea and the aloe plant in the foreground though.

Mission San Juan Capistrano is located in southern California in Orange County, about an hour north of San Diego and just south of Laguna Beach. I have visited it three or four times and never grow tired of that beautiful place. It is a national treasure and historic monument, and most people have heard the beautiful legend about the swallows that return there every year to nest. To read more about the mission and the swallows , please go here.

Subscribe now to receive my newsletter, "Even More".
Today my husband helped me make a smaller version of the knife that I always work with. It's the flat edge, rectangular shape that I love. But the smallest that I've ever found is still a little more than a quarter inch wide. Very hard to get into the smaller spaces with it. My new knife has a width of about 2/8 ths. Perfect for tight spaces! I changed the composition just a little with this one. All of these studies have been smaller passages from Potthast's paintings, and most of the areas I've selected have had balanced compositional elements. I SO wanted to paint this pooch, but the square composition that I wanted to use was weak as it was. I moved the dog in a bit, and added the large hill in the background. I still feel some emptiness right in the middle of the painting and I'm trying to decide what to incorporate, if anything. Keeping things fresh is important though and I hate to go back in and risk getting a blip of something too distracting.

Daily Painting 1277 Camouflage Fish Painting

I had a time with this one, I started it at the art bank. (they have an open studio on Wednesday nights) I had the background in and my studio partner said she saw a fish in it. I took a look and sure enough, I saw him too. So I started painting him in today, after turning the painting upside down so the sea fan would be growing in the right direction. (click the painting, you can see the texture of the fan better then.)

I started with a lion fish. Well, he didn't look good and there was a bunch of commotion going on in the house so I was distracted and I removed him. I put in the eye of the fish, it looked kind of like an eye there already and then the rest of the fish got painted with no more trouble.

Its oil on archival mat board, 5 x 7 inches, $100.

Subscribe now to receive my newsletter, "Even More".
Ahhh - yellow! An ever elusive color to get work with. Especially lemony yellows. One of the 'basic' and commonly used is cadmium yellow pale. I find it very much on the cool side, and often times unnatural looking. My preference is cad yellow medium, but I didn't have any. If you mix ochre with the pale, you'll get a close approximation and a warmer tone.

Daily Painting 1276 Flock of Spoonbills

I have always liked spoonbills and I felt like painting them. These are on the North Fork of the Saint Lucie river, I haven't seen them very often there so I was thrilled to get to see them this time. This is a memory painting of a scene I remember from my childhood. I spent many happy hours boating with my dad on the North Fork. Its changed so much since then. The painting is a miniature, 4 x 6 inches, oil on masonite, $100.

Moon Shadows, Tropical Florida Night with Full Moon Oil Landscape by Judy Batterson


When a full moon is in the night sky , the reflection on the water sparkles like diamonds while the moonlight creates palm shadows. This painting captures the moment of night light tranquility. The whiteness of the moonlight and its highlights contrast against the darkness of the night. The value contrast has high drama and creates a surreal world. The full moon creates patterns of light while it illuminates the clouds, the water and the shoreline. The dark values keep everything still. Framed 16 x 20" Original Oil on canvas $1500 (Giclee available $325, Prints $75) Chosen by Orlando Magazine for "Paint the Town" 8th Annual Exhibition, Chosen for "Simply the Best" book by Timothy's Gallery, Available at Let Us Frame It in Orlando, FL.

This study seems to have the best of what I try for in a successful painting - most importantly the very loose knife work. The original painting of Potthast's has so much energy to it, and I wanted to try and convey that in my own style. The color mixing was key in terms of getting just the right ratio of pigment to walnut oil. Like I've said many times - if the paint is right, it's like doing a watercolor.

I am taking note of how difficult it is to nail down a bluish purple that is spot on neutral in terms of warm/cool. Not easy! My favorite part of this painting is the legs of the little one on the right. Just enough of an indication that they are there. It's easy to get caught up in painting 'symbols' of what one thinks a common, easily recognizable thing looks like. And of course once your mind is in that mode and concentrating probably too hard on what you think you see, the harder it is to stop yourself. Particularly true in rendering faces!

Path through the Sea Oats, 16x12, oil on board, by Maryanne Jacobsen


Path through the Sea Oats, 16x12, oil on board by Maryanne Jacobsen

I have been working on two large paintings, which were commissioned for the Ritz Carlton hotel in Naples, Florida, and I needed to take a break from all the concentration that a commissioned piece requires. So this was the result. It's a happy little piece that I did with a palette knife last evening and I just let go with all the color that I recalled from painting the scene en plein air at Siesta Key Beach a while back. In autumn the sea oats turn a beautiful pinkish shade and the effect is glorious. Unfortunately, I am finding it much too hot to paint outside anymore, so painting from memory is the only solution. It's never adequate though, as I know I have missed some of the oranges and magentas that I know were present in the landscape that day.


If you are interested in this piece, please send me an email at maryannejacobsen@aol.com, or visit my website at Maryanne Jacobsen Fine Art if you wish to see more of my original oil paintings or visit my art blog at Paint Dance..

KEY WEST STORM APPROACHING
Original Oil painting 30 x 40 inches
Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

This painting was done on location before a hurricane reached shore. The emotion of incrediable cloud formations and the smell of an approaching storm was overwhelming.

The location here was being scouted for an outdoor painting workshop at a later date. The majority of this was painted en plein air. Studio work was required to finish the painting  due to winds that were to high to maintain the canvas stability.

This painting was delightful to do. Once again, the subtle nuance of color and value in the figures with the bright sun and it's reflections coming up off the water. It's a challenge, but worth figuring out. The white of the canvas could have been left to show through and still read in the areas of skin that are sunlit, but it's more accurate to create a mix. I use soft mixing white (what I always use - either Georgian or Winton from Windsor Newton) and a smidgen (and I do mean smidgen) of ochre, lavender, or pink. It knocks the white down just enough and works like a charm.

FLORIDA EVERGLADES EVENING SOLICE
Original Oil 24 x 36 x 1.5 inches  Gallery Wrapped Canvas
Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

Evening approaching in the Everglades is one of the most peaceful times of the day. Birds rush about catching the last rays of sun or their last evening meal.

The Everglades sky changes colours constantly as the light filters through the last clouds left over for the day after the daily afternoon rain.
Early morning or late afternoon are my favorite times to paint in the Everglades. This oil painting required many layers of glazes to achieve the glowing tones of colour present.
I love painting the Everglades and all Marsh Eco Systems with wide open vistas, there is a feeling that you can see forever. 
These fragile systems are critical to preserve in their natural state for all wildlife.

Daily Painting 1271 SOLD Royal Poinciana on Second Street Plein Air

I did this during the Souvenirs of Downtown paintout, I hadn't gotten around to posting it, I did tweak it a bit. In real life the trunk of the tree was behind a wall, I didn't think it looked too good that way in the painting so I changed it. I found out if I would moved over a bit, the wall wouldn't be in the way anyhow! Its 12 x 16, oil on masonite. $400.

Swampy Road, A Florida Oil Landscape of Old Florida by Judy Batterson


Off the beaten paths, sandy roads lead back into hammocks and lagoons. I saw some beautiful untouched areas of coastal Florida by walking down a road on a sunny day until it ended in the water. Palms, pines and mangroves were in abundance. The reflection of the blue sky made the brackish water appear to be a beautiful blue. The palette of cool colors captured the feel of the green flora as well as the blue water and sky. Hammocks reflect different values and colors depending on the sun and the sky. Very refreshing in a back to nature way. 16 x 20" Framed Oil on masonite $1200

Subscribe now to receive my newsletter, "Even More".
Shimmering water isn't an easy thing to paint. I think I've done only a few sunset paintings in my career, and it's because the color, although true to what's actually there, always disturbs me. Probably goes back to my formative years when I did this ungodly painting of a black tree silhouette and a bright neon orange sunset in the background. I certainly hope my mom doesn't still have that stashed somewhere. Nah - no chance. Anyway - I worked this out OK, but it was a trick to get a color mix that would most directly achieve a dusky ambiance.

As an FYI - I confused the title of this painting with that of the post from Sunday and have made corrections. Today's post is Water Lilies; the other one is called Girls on the Beach. Potthast had many similar titles for his paintings, as well as some that he used more than once. I can certainly relate to the challenge of coming up with catchy titles! This one has 3 small elements that I changed to cater to my own tastes a little bit more. The magenta bow was more of a light pink/coral. The hand of the far right girl was added where it had continued off the image in Potthast's. And I added a few drips coming off the same arm, to give even more interest to what the girls are doing for play.

Finally - I'm getting to a night scene. They always prove to be more challenging than one would think. What struck me most is the very dark warm green placed next to the specular highlights on the girls' hair. Can you see it? It makes the area glow, and somehow tells us the moon is out.

Daily Painting 1269 Spoonbill Marsh

This was painted from a photo I took at Spoonbill Marsh. Its North of Vero, you need permission to go there. I am planning some paintouts there, and got to go on a tour of it. Its got a big long boardwalk. Vero's drinking water wells have some salt in them.

They are using the marsh as a big experiment, they pump the salt water from the Vero wells into it so it doesn't go into the Indian river too fast. They have rafts of mangroves planted and oyster beds. All seem to be growing well.

There is a show planned for paintings from the paintouts in the fall.

The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite, $200.
